Ruskin Bond's love for the natuiral world shines brightly in his stories, where animals are not just background figures but vivid characters with personalities, emotions and tales of their own. From mischievous monkeys to loyal dogs, mysterious leopards to curious warmth, humour and sometimes a touch of wildness. Read about the loyalty of Sheroo the dog, or speedy the crows incessant need to annoy Junior Sahib, along with the man eater in the tunnel that attacks Baldeo.
